DOVER — The Saint Mary Academy & Saint Thomas Aquinas Parade Committee proudly announce the theme to this year’s Holiday Parade, “One Thousand Gifts”. The parade, underwritten by Liberty Mutual, will be held on the Sunday following Thanksgiving, November 25, as is the tradition and will begin at approximately 2:45 on Sixth Street (dependent on the Amtrak schedule).

Entry forms are available now from Saint Mary Academy and the Great Dover Chamber of Commerce. Applications can be sent via email. If you do not have email feel free to contact us and we will put one in the mail to you.

We are always in need of adults and children to make this historic event possible, so if you aren’t able to commit to a float but would like to participate, please let us know.
